Alright, I usually play as a tamer however the last couple of months there's been a lot of new tamers coming around and the dungeons are getting more and more crowded, same goes with the champ spawns, it's not as solid gold as it was two months ago.
With that being said taming is still a really profitable profession, it's easy money as long as the spots I have in my book aren't already being farmed.
Anyhow I made a fisher some time ago, however I didn't fish for mib's until recently, and I discovered it being almost as profitable as taming, and a lot easier and more safe.
I decided to make some statistics on fishing, my fisherman has 120 fishing, however I'm not sure it matters that much.
The last four nights I've been fishing up some of the SOS's, to be exact, 100 of them.
The chests contain some gold, reagents, gems and a lot of magical weapons.
What I've done is identifying all magical items and sold them to NPC's at town, I've only kept the "good" ones, vanquishing and power weapons, such as kryss's, halberds, spears, war forks etc.
This is what 100 chest's gave me:
During this period I fished up Osideron twice, looting an anchor and a small fishing net.
Also I fished up about 10 new mib's and one ancient one from the sea serpants that spawned whilst trying to fish up the chests.
Approximately time spent:
Earnings:
I'd like to add that it took a while to fish up 100 mibs as well, however I've been doing this without paying too much attention to it, also, the current market value of a message in a bottle is about 3,500 gold, which still makes this very profitable.
So after some discussion about how long time you actually have to spend in order to fish up 100 MIB's, and
whether or not it's a big difference on how many bottles that you fish up depending on your fishing skill I decided to make some statistics about this as well, as I mentioned earlier my fisherman has 120 fishing, and I only have one fisherman so it takes quite some time for me to get those damn bottles.
Now before you judge the fishing skill too much, be aware that these values vary a lot depending on your luck, I've actually had a run once which almost lasted for three hours, without getting a single sea serpent. I also had a run for one hour which resulted in around 10 bottles. And judging by the post's in this thread there's a lot of people who had similar runs, both good and bad, so you can never count on getting a steady income regarding bottles.
I did ten hours of fishing and this is what those greedy serpents decided to drop to me.
This means that it roughly takes me about 30 hours of fishing in order to get 100 bottles, which would change the hourly income of the above statistics to: ~40.5k / hour
So unless you're not too bothered to actually fish these bottles up, buy them.

Approximately time spent:
Adding SOS's to UOAM - 1 hour
Fishing up chest's - 12 hours
Emptying, organizing and identifying chest inventory - 3 hours
Selling magical items to NPC's - 1 hour
Total time about 17 hours.

1 ancient message in a bottle
34 regular messages in a bottle
31 treasure maps (plainly drawn)
26 special fishing nets (all default hue)
In other words 3.4 MIB's / hour (not counting the ancient bottle)34 regular messages in a bottle
31 treasure maps (plainly drawn)

This means that it roughly takes me about 30 hours of fishing in order to get 100 bottles, which would change the hourly income of the above statistics to: ~40.5k / hour
